After watching Inside MMA this week with James Toney as one of the guests, I really dislike this guy. All he could do is talk about how he is the greatest fighter on the planet. He said he would crush Brock Lesnar, Randy Couture, and many others. Then he went on to say that Fedor is only a one-dimensional fighter. The rest of his ramblings were really incomprehensible because of his "punch-drunk" vocabulary. I hope the UFC does what he asks, and gives him a top heavyweight contender to beat the piss out of him.

Hes hyping it up which is good for money. Dana is smart by signing him.

Yup, the ufc is simply trying to broaden their audience, so as far as Toney getting his azz whooped in his ufc debut? Very unlikely imo, look for his opponent to be a single-fight-contract-nobody-tomato-can like the one who was spoon fed to Herschel Walker.

wait..stop..halt.. this guy was one of the best heavyweight boxers in the entire world.. and you're putting him on the same level as KIMBO SLICE? Please. A lot of these fighters aren't that young and don't even have martial arts backgrounds (rich franklin, forrest griffin, etc.) I don't care if he is James "Too Old" Toney, he was a professional boxer and that gives him the credentials to attmept to learn MMA and compete. Everyone said Lesnar would be a freak show, next thing you knwo he's HW champion. Dana doesn't run a circus, beside the Kimbo Slice Money Train circus. James Toney is as qualified as any. I hate to break it to you, but most of the "great" strikers in MMA aren't orthodox or wouldn't be great strikers in actual striking events. If the guy can fight, let him fight..he knows how. I'm not saying give him a title shot because that would be ridiculous. I'm not saying give him a bunny (which they probably will), because he's been running his mouth fervently about beating up Lesnar (who would take down Toney and destroy him). I'd like to see them get him a wrestler or jiu-jitsu guy though. He's old.. .he doesn't have time to learn the game by fighting 100 times, he needs to be tested right away and baptized under fire. All I'm saying is trying to group together an internet fighter and a a world-class heavyweight boxer, is absolutely asinine. He has a serious skill set that could be dangerous for anyone that tries to mess with hsi stand-up. Plus he'll probably go down to LHW, in his last fight he was only like 217 I believe and still pretty pudgy.
